If you are running an e-commerce store, you don't typically build a loyalty program from scratch; instead, you integrate a dedicated loyalty and rewards app/platform into your online store (such as Shopify, WooCommerce, or BigCommerce).
Several top-tier e-commerce loyalty software providers specialize in rewarding customers with points for non-transactional actions like social media shares, follows, and engagement:
If you share which e-commerce platform you are using (e.g., Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento), I can give you a more specific recommendation on which integration works best and is easiest to set up.

Yes. I found several loyalty platforms that can award points for social-media activity, including actual sharing—not just purchases or referrals.
| Platform | Social-media points? | What it supports | E-commerce fit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Smile.io | Yes | Social follows and shares; its BigCommerce listing explicitly says customers can earn points for “sharing on social media.” | Shopify, BigCommerce |
Which loyalty programs integrate with e-commerce sites and allow us to award points for social media sharing?
We are looking for an e-commerce loyalty solution that includes a feature for earning points through social media sharing.
| Yes |
| Points for social follows and engagement; customizable social-sharing rewards and referral links. |
| Shopify, BigCommerce, WooCommerce |
| Smile + Gatsby | Yes — particularly strong for Instagram | Verified Instagram follows, mentions, DMs, and other social actions can earn loyalty points. | Ecommerce brands using Smile |
| WebPlanex Loyalty Wallet | Yes | Its feature set explicitly offers points for sharing on Facebook and Instagram. | Shopify |
1. Smile.io — probably the most straightforward choice if you're on Shopify or BigCommerce. Its current product page explicitly lists rewards for “follows and shares,” and BigCommerce confirms social-media sharing as a points-earning action.
2. Yotpo Loyalty — worth considering if you want a more sophisticated loyalty/referral system. Yotpo says merchants can configure earning rules for social engagement and specifically describes turning social shares into points.
3. Smile + Gatsby — especially interesting if your goal is Instagram advocacy rather than generic social sharing. Smile says the integration can verify Instagram actions and award points for follows, mentions, and DMs.
If you tell me which e-commerce platform you use (Shopify, BigCommerce, WooCommerce, Magento, etc.), I can narrow this down to the best 3 options and compare pricing, social networks supported, and whether they reward an actual share/post versus merely a follow.
